A problem with American pocket watches and not unique to American is that their old. Typically at least 100 years old this means that for the last hundred years they've either had a nice life or they been serviced a lot by people who may or may not of actually known what a watch was. This means that you will get challenges even on a watch that appears to be in beautiful condition and appears to only need cleaning there will probably be a challenge or two. Or in other words welcome to my world. In the shop where I work I handle all the vintage pocket just and continuously they want to know when the watch is going to be done and the answer it's done when it's done doesn't always come across properly. Like in your case even when you fix all of those problems you may have weird timekeeping issues which you won't know about until the watch is running.
